    As of a couple days ago I can't play most videos from You Tube. Did something happen on You Tubes end? There really isn't a good app for You Tube so I'm stuck using my browser. Anybody else?

    I'm on the same boat. It would work 1 out of 30 times.

    Could it be something on YT end in terms of how the videos are encoded?

    Same here. I have tried to play 5 different videos from Youtube but nothing plays. I just get error playing video. I have a 9550 on VZW.

    In the same boat as the rest of you guys myself. YouTube just won't play at all, out of the many times I tried today, I got a video to work once and then it stopped playing when I tried to fast forward.

    Very strange behavior indeed.

    I was having the same problem even with videos I had viewed just a couple days prior and had bookmarked.

    Here’s what I did and everything is working now.

    The suggestion with an asterisk are the setting I believe could have been the problem. The others are just FYI.

    *Don’t use Wi-Fi. Use the cell phone network.

    under browser configuration

    *Set your Brower to Internet Browser and don’t forget to hit Save Options because I didn’t about 3 times.
    All boxes under browser configuration are checked except “Terminate Slow Running Scripts”
    *Browser Identification is set to Blackberry

    Under general properties

    *Set default browser to Internet Browser
    Your preferences for font don’t matter - I guess
    Image quality is on low (faster)
    Repeat animations: is set to never but it worked on “As many times …” too
    Full screen and Enable Java Location are checked
    Prompts before: I only have “Closing Modified Pages” checked

    Hold the phone by the edges and frap the back of it real hard against a marble counter top 9 times. Just kidding on this one.

    Once I got these settings, everything is back to normal.

    Sorry for my spelling, punctuation or grammar but I’m in a hurry and thought I’d try and help my fellow Crackberries.

    Good Luck

    Jack

    None of that worked. It has to be a bug on their end.

    And why did the youtube app for the storm that comes perloaded not work anymore? It just takes me to the website. It used to work but no longer.

    Yeah I noticed that some videos are not loading here for me either. But the Player for Youtube app from Smarter apps is really good. Try it: Player for YouTube - Entertainment BlackBerry Apps

    It's free!

    The app that came pre-loaded on the Storm was great.
